IPPE 2020

32,000 visitors and 1,300 exhibitors

Another fantastic IPPE show is in the books for Frontmatec. The 3 day show held in Atlanta, Georgia was once again, a very highly attended event. The show continues to increase in size year over year, and with an expanded show floor, IPPE brings
in more than more than 1,300 exhibitors and 32,000 visitors.

The show focuses on Innovation, making it a fantastic platform to introduce new products to the market, and view the latest trends in R&D and technology.

Several new exciting solutions were revealed at this years IPPE, which gained a lot of interest from the industry, who clearly see the potential in the new Frontmatec solutions.

These new solutions include:

Robotic waterjet belly trimming

The Robotic belly trimmer (RBT) is the latest addition to the Frontmatec waterjet cutting lineup. The RBT combines robotics, innovative tooling and our unique Value Grading™ technology, giving now the added ability to bevel the teat and back sides of the bellies. This is achieved in a single pass without flipping the product by using a patent pending double jet cutter that simultaneously creates vertical and angled cuts.

American back finner

The American back finner (ABF) is the only machine in the world designed to loosen the featherbones before pork carcass chilling. This process creates unbeatable yield improvement on loins and shoulders, while reducing labor needs for loin boning and neckbone lifting. The ABF benefits from over 20 years of experience gained from the previous generation of back finning machines.

Both use a circular saw to cut the skin, and two knives along the featherbones. However, this new version brings a mandatory feature needed for North American processors: the ability to process carcasses with the head clipped, loosened or removed.

Robotic chine bone saw

The Robotic chine bone saw (RCBS) unlocks the potential of loin boning operations by creating consistent high-quality final products. The RCBS accurately separates the chine bone from the loin with a complex 3D cut path that follows the natural shape of the piece, resulting in both loin and back rib yields improvement.

If you were unable to make it to the show, or visit our booth, we’d love to share more with you on these three new solutions we’ve been working diligently on over the last 12+ months. Contact us today!
